Charlie and his wife Norma are the owners of the Auto Test Service Centre, at 19-19A Bridge Street, Eltham.

The business was established 11 years ago and has expanded from a one-man operation to a workshop now employing four mechanics and Norma. The company performs general repairs and tune-ups for all makes and models of cars but specialises in Mitsubishi vehicles.

Auto Test Service Centre has also developed expertise in LP gas conversions and maintenance. The business performs auto-air-conditioning work, roadworthy inspections, automatic transmission maintenance and repairs and some auto-electrical work.

As an accredited VACC dealer, the Auto Test Service Centre provides a 10,000km, six-month warranty on any work performed. Open from 8am to 5pm on weekdays and from 8am to noon on Saturdays, the business completes most jobs in one day.

Parts used are split between genuine and non-genuine parts - depending on which are the most reliable and cost effective for the customer.

With technology changing so rapidly and as cars become more like computers, it is vital that the business is constantly updating its equipment. Likewise Auto Test's mechanics regularly undertake courses to keep pace with the changes.

For all your motor vehicle servicing requirements, call Charlie, Norma or any of Auto Test's staff on 9431 0500.
